Question

An ocicat eats 3/5 of a pound of food daily. How many whole ocicats can a 19 1/2-pound bag of food feed for one week?

Answer 1

4 ocicats

Explanation:

Each week one ocicat eats 3/5 * 7 = 21/5 pounds of food. Then 19 1/2 pounds can feed:

(19 1/2) / (21/5)

= (39/2)/(21/5)

= 39/2 * 5/21

= 65/14 --> about 4 ocicats.
